This classic Caesar salad with an easy homemade Caesar dressing is sure to just everyone.
Plus, youll never want to buy Caesar dressing again!
(At least that’s how the story goes.)

What follows is my friend Suzanne’s recipe.
The eggs give the dressing creaminess, and the anchovies?
A salty, savory deliciousness.

If you don’t have access to anchovies, just add a teaspoon of Worcestershire sauce to the dressing.
To avoid eggs altogether, you’re able to simply make a garlicky vinaigrette.
It won’t be as creamy, but you won’t sacrifice flavor either.

If it’s vegan Worcestershire sauce, that also makes the salad vegetarian friendly!

The steps up until this point can be made ahead.

Whisk in half of the Parmesan cheese.

Taste, add more lemon juice, salt and pepper to taste.
The lemon should give an edge to the dressing, but not overwhelm it.
Add to the dressing and toss until coated.

Add the rest of the Parmesan cheese, and toss.
Coarsely chop the toasted bread into croutons and add to the salad.
Brush in any crumbs from chopping the bread, too.
Toss and serve immediately.
